Leupold has announced a Limited-Edition Mark 250 Riflescope Package is now available exclusively through Scheels. Commissioned to commemorate the United States semiquincentennial, the Mark 250 package is built for the patriots who demand performance.

The Mark 250 package is built around Leupold’s Mark 5HD 2-10x30 mm riflescope, featuring the CMR-MIL reticle. The scope has been emblazoned with the Betsy Ross flag on its eye shell and features 13 stars—representing each of our nation’s original 13 colonies—around its objective bell.

Only 250 custom scopes have been built and are sequentially numbered from 001 to 250. They are available now, exclusively through Scheels retail stores and at Scheels.com.

“Our nation’s 250th anniversary is something to honor, to remember. Together, we’re celebrating the moment that our founders chose liberty and self-governance, no matter the cost,” said Bruce Pettet, president and CEO for Leupold. “Leupold is an inherently American brand, and we’re proud to team up with Scheels to help commemorate that moment with a product package that honors our history—and is all built right here in the United States, by American workers.”

Also included in the kit are a Leupold DeltaPoint Pro red dot, a Mark IMS mount and a DeltaPoint Pro Ringtop Mount. Together, it’s a right-out-of-the-box solution for your Designated Marksman Rifle (DMR) or Recce rifle. Custom, patriotic packaging has been designed to further enhance the exclusivity of the Mark 250.

Leupold’s Mark 5HD redefines accuracy, precision, and optical performance for shooters—and does so in a package that embodies rugged reliability. The 2-10x30 mm delivers on those same traits, but in a shorter, lighter scope that’s ideal for carbines and designated marksman rifles. The CMR MIL reticle delivers a super-bright illuminated 1-MIL Horseshoe center aiming point that acts like a 3.5-MOA dot on low power, even in the brightest sunlight. A 10-MIL Christmas tree style reticle below the center dot, meanwhile, is perfect for measuring and for determining holdover and hold off.

The Mark 5HD, DeltaPoint Pro, Mark IMS mounts and DeltaPoint Pro Ringtop Mount are all designed, machined, and assembled in the USA, and covered by Leupold’s Full Lifetime Guarantee. Leupold’s Limited-Edition Mark 250 Riflescope Package is available on the Scheel’s website.
